Biosketch

Before joining the UPC, I was a postdoctoral scholar at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) and a long-term visitor at the Institute for the Mathematics and its Applications (University of Minnesota). I have been awarded the O. C. Zienkiewicz Award for Young Scientists in Computational Engineering Sciences by ECCOMAS (2010), a Icrea Academia Award (2009), and the ASME/BOEING Structures and Materials Award (2003). I have also been the Timoshenko Visiting Scholar at Stanford. In 2009, I was awarded a Starting Grant funded by the European Research Council. Please see my Researcher ID profile. Most of my publications can be downloaded from here.
